Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 0.333 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2-4 tablespoons Water
Instructions
If you haven't already, soak the cashews for 4-6 hours in room temperature water or boil them for 10 minutes to soften.
Drain the soaked or boiled cashews and add them to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Add the almond milk, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water to the blender.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula.
Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to achieve your desired consistency. For thicker sour cream, use less water. For a thinner version, use more.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or vinegar for a tangier flavor.
Transfer the sour cream to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and thicken before serving.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. Stir before serving if any separation occurs.
